What is Ling Ming's embarrassing experience?
Dear Diary,
This week I had an embarrassing moment at a bookstore. I ran into an old friend named Gao Yuan. When he tapped me on the shoulder and said my name, I couldn't figure out who he was. He seemed familiar but I forgot his name. I felt awful.
We chatted for a while. Finally I had to admit that I couldn't remember his name. Before I could say sorry, he said he had to go and waved goodbye.
I felt bad, so I talked with Wang Mei about it. She said that she once had a similar experience. She forgot an old friend's name when that friend returned to China after many years abroad. Wang Mei was a little embarrassed, too, but her friend didn't mind. She just reminded Wang Mei of her name and they had a good, long chat.
After talking to Wang Mei, I felt better. I called Gao Yuan that evening. He was happy to hear from me, and we had a good conversation. We also made plans to play ping -pong together next weekend.
Yay, I got back an old friend!
